42 and looking forward to being older. When I turned 30, I looked back at what I was in my twenties and couldn't believe I was that stupid. When I turned 40, I looked back at what I was in my thirties and couldn't believe I was that stupid. *laugh* Maybe I'll change once my body starts to decay, but for now, I'm very happy to be the age I am and only see myself improving as time goes on.

Right Mr Scott
 

Same situation , for now 56, next year 57 :-).

37
 

37, and finally not working for "The Man" anymore!

The last of the baby boomers
 

Born in '64, the last year of the baby boom... 42 years old.

Kids, kids, kids ... Now when 'I' was a boy! Winters were colder, summers were hotter, snow was deeper.

Just cracked 74 and still shooting

I recently observed (haven't had time to celebrate yet!) the "8th Anniversary" of my 39th birthday. (That's a roundabout way of admitting to being 47 without actually having to say so...)

Aloha,

Larry

I'm twenty-six.

To contribute to all of our combined wisdom:

17.

Holding onto the my 20s @ 29 years young.

40.

(Seems that like life, this message is too short without this sentence!)

It's nice to see that at 53 I'm not the oldest. :-)

... feels at times that the threads here are all I'm hanging on to ...

27 for me. Still have a lot to learn

18, n00b, here, lots of potential. Start young, you'll be good at anything, or so is the word on the streets. I got the "magic eye" according to my father. haha, he's a noob too.

48 and unafraid *grin*

40, but still feel like 18 (but less regularly than I'd like).

I'm 45 but feel like I'm 85!

Been 4 years doing this, I'm currently 20 and in Film School

That's because the next stage for those of us in our sixties means that it's too dark for a camera to be used.

Some one stated that the age of the members of the forum drops off quickly after the sixties. My reply to that is above.

I have heard it said, "An old person is a young person on the inside trying to figure out what happend."

55 this year
 

Younger in spirit. Prehistoric in photography. God I love my HD-DV. I don't miss my Bolex H16 Turret.

Well, this year I turned 59 - been making docs since 1974, and it's more fun all the time!!

Love the new world of DV - soon to be HDV.

I'm 17 and I can only hope the age/skill continuum is exponential. ;)

53 myself
 

"I think membership here really runs the gamut--we have plenty of teenagers and folks in their 50s and early 60s--but the numbers fall off sharply at 70s and 80s." Well, trust me, membership in anything starts to fall off in the seventies and eighties.

There was for a while a certain popular maxim about age: Age is just a number. I thought that was the funniest thing, as it posits the absolute denial of the value and effect of both experience and learning, and takes no responsiblity for either. No wonder it was a popular maxim. Probably still is popular.

I just started asking people when was the last time they said that to a five year-old child. Silence is usually the response. That or laughter.

Age is of course not the issue. Experience is. What have you done with your time?

Like the old soldier saying to the young soldier "'This your first time on a battlefield? Just a kid, you got so much to learn!" "Guess so" says the rookie. "Dunno how you're gonna catch up, kid. Me I got 20 years experience under my belt. Howya gonna stay alive long enough to catch up?"

One thoughtful answer is that the old-timer is more likely to have one year's battlefield experience repeated 19 times.

27 in April

29
 

30 is the new 20.

About forty three. Ahem.

But I agree with those who feel 15. Boy, a big part of me will forever be 15. Going to amusement parks, flirting with girls, riding my bicycle everywhere, doing tiny things that get me in trouble with superiors. Life is good.

I'm about 5 years ahead of you Phil, and I agree 110% with everything you said! They say 50 is the new 30.

26 this saturday boy i feel old :sad: =(.

Oldes so far
 

I am 62 and up to the speed of a 31 year old

32 years old...Enjoying every bit of it!

67 and counting.

Age?
 

I am 49 but as far as how old i feel? I don't feel any age crazy as that might seem. Maybe its because i have better things to think about than my age? who knows?

enjoy life no matter what age you are and it will most probably be of no importance, maybe. Anyway have a nice day and a nice life okay )))

18 (still very much a kid)

47 in Canadian years, which works out to barely 40 in US years.

I started at zero and progressed to 42 in a linear fashion, so my average age is 21.

24. Wow, I'm pretty young.

I've officially reached FITTY since the 23rd. I've lost my keys, glasses & my mind :-\
